Summary
Standing at a height of 15 feet and stretching 1100 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-SECO CREEK and falls under the jurisdiction of the Galveston District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being classified as a high-risk structure with a Hazard Potential of "Not Available," the dam's condition remains unrated. It lacks a spillway and drainage area, posing potential challenges in the event of heavy rainfall or flooding. With no designated emergency action plan or regular inspections in place, the dam's safety and structural integrity may be a cause for concern among water resource and climate enthusiasts.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor the risk associated with Tx No Name No 5 Dam, there is a need for increased oversight and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment. With the potential for high-risk situations due to its design and lack of critical infrastructure, stakeholders should push for improved regulations, inspections, and emergency preparedness measures to mitigate any potential hazards posed by this dam in the future.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
